Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Porum, OK.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you might choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Porum provides medically managed detox, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to handle their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
